5.0 out of 5 stars
Well done.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Kachinas of the Zuni (Hardcover)
Barton Wright's expertise is evident with this informative publication on the kachinas of the Zuni. Wright explains the importance of kachinas in Zuni culture, and Zuni artist Duane Dishta's paintings represent the first new information on kachinas in half a century. This volume comprehensively describes the annual and quadrennial ceremonies, the traditional dances, as well as the healing rituals associated with the Zuni. It makes a nice companion piece to Barton Wright's other well-known work, "Kachina's: A Hopi Artist's Documentary".

Hopeful!,
By Zoe (NEPA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Kachinas of the Zuni (Hardcover)
I am hopeful rather than heaped with praise as I don't yet own this book. However, I just spent three glorious days at the Zuni, and among the pleasures of my visit was to see first-hand Duane Dishta 's paintings. If this book by Wright is as erudite and accurate as Dishta's paintings are beautiful, I will save my pennies to buy this book.
I spent long moments looking at each painting, wanting nearly all, and most especially as I was blessed with arriving at the Zuni at the time of ceremony. Dishta's paintings brought to life each and all kachina in a remarkably realistic manner. Zuni ceremonies are magic; Zuni kachinas live on and in the Zuni.
